I Won't Let You Go

Chapter 24

The family decided to stay in Björn's room while Agnetha was being stabilized. As tensed as they looked, they decided to put on brave faces for the sake of the man in the room next door. But, Björn knew all too well what was happening. His intuition told him along with the fact that the walls were so paper thin that he could hear the commotion going on in the next room over where Agnetha was.

"How is she?" Björn asked as he sat up.

"She's fine Papa," Christian replied.

"I don't think so. The walls are paper thin. Something is happening with her. I just know it!"

"Just take it easy Papa. I don't want the same thing happening with you too!" Linda exclaimed.

Björn simply nodded his head and listened to his daughter instead of doing what he would normally do which was to get up and out of his bed and see Agnetha for himself. It was bad enough that the doctors were frantically trying to revive Agnetha and trying to sedate her, but the exact same thing happening to Björn would've been the end of them. The doctor walked into Björn's room shortly afterwards.

"Hello Mr. Ulvaeus, my name is Dr. Hallstrom. How are you feeling?" The doctor asked as he walked over to Björn.

"I'm doing good. Still in a bit of pain but doing good. Anyways, you can just call me Björn. I hate formalities," Björn replied.

"Ok that's fine. Where is your pain Björn?"

"I'm still feeling physically weak and my head hurts. Other than that, I'm fine."

"Ok I'll write that down on your chart. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"No, not right now. Thanks doctor."

"Anyways, I have an update on Miss Fältskog and her condition," Dr. Hallstrom said as he turned over to the rest of the family. Björn was also very alert and wanted to know how his beloved Agnetha is doing.

"How is she doing doctor?" Linda asked with no hesitation.

"She's stable now. Her pressure went up in addition to her meningitis. We gave her a sedative and some more antibiotics to calm her down."

"Ok that's good. We were so scared!" Isabelle exclaimed.

"Can we go see her?" Tilda asked.

"Yes, but take it easy on her," Dr. Hallstrom replied.

"Is it ok if I see her as well?" Björn asked.

"I don't think so, Björn. I think it's best that you stay in bed and recover yourself before you are well enough to see her," Dr. Hallstrom replied.

"I don't care! I know why her pressure went up! She wanted to see me! She wanted to see me for herself and see that I was ok! And truthfully, I would've done the same thing if it weren't for my children or my grandchildren or my two friends right here in front of me and if I hadn't heard all the commotion coming from her room next door! The walls are very paper thin!" Björn said firmly.

"I understand," Dr. Hallstrom said, sounding a bit taken aback as he cleared his throat. "I can go get one of the nurses to get you a wheelchair."

"Thank you doctor. I'm sorry if I sounded a bit rude but Agnetha is the love of my life. So much as happened to her already. After all, this is her third time she's being treated at this hospital this year alone."

"No worries," Dr. Hallstrom said reassuringly. "I'll go get a nurse right now so she can bring you a wheelchair."

Dr. Hallstrom left to go get one of the nurses so they can get a Björn a wheelchair so he can see Agnetha for himself. He needed to. Seeing her for himself will be the only thing that will keep him sane for the moment. Agnetha tried doing the same thing and her pressure went up, so this was another very important reason why he needed to see her for himself.
